Injuries resulting from an accident with a tanker truck can be extremely expensive to treat and cause long-term pain and suffering.

Tanker Trucks Pose Unique Dangers on the Roads

There are many reasons why Tanker Trucks and all large trucks cause wrecks. Often the reason is negligence or recklessness on the part of the truck driver or trucking company, such as:

Aggressive driving or tailgating

Speeding and ignoring reduced truck speed limits

Long work shifts / unrealistic travel schedules

Driver fatigue

Distracted driving, such as cell phone use

Impaired driving (i.e., alcohol and drug abuse)

Failure to inspect tires, brakes and lights

Failure to install blind-spot mirrors

Contributing factors to rollovers include:

An improperly filled tank

High center of gravity for the truck

Speeding around a curve

Improperly trained drivers

Stopping short

If the tank is not filled properly, the liquid will move freely inside of the Tanker Truck and cause its weight to shift and making the truck very difficult to control. The driver may also lose causing the rollover Tanker Truck to roll.
Tanker Trucks must adhere to a specific set of regulations different from other tractor- trailer trucks. Because of the hazardous nature of the loads, Tanker Trucks must meet strict engineering guidelines mechanics for these vehicles must be specially trained.
Negligence on the part of the driver or the people responsible for filling the Tanker Truck tank and can result in a tragic accident. Owners who hire the drivers or enforce training protocols can also be responsible for a Tanker Truck accident.

First, I want to tell you I hired another firm for my case before Marion, I did not choose carefully the first time is all I will say. Secondly, I would like to say that I do not give the highest rating to many people or companies without earning it. I can say Marion earned it!! She and everyone I came into contact with in her firm handled my case with the utmost professionalism, as well as true empathy for my situation, while not missing a detail about the facts of the case. I can not leave out her paralegal Janice, she was totally on the ball at all times. My case was a personal injury case ( I was hit by a tractor trailer) which was settled for a very fair settlement! I am sure whatever your case involves, she will handle it in the same manner. She is a great person and an awesome attorney!! She will fight for you!! Jeffrey, a Personal Injury Client
